Same boat… even applied at Target for seasonal work prior to holidays and nothing…

10 years of military/healthcare service and 3 years of data analysis experience. Nothing. Anywhere. It’s getting kind of brutal just to survive now.

I would go back to school but my last university screwed me out of my GI Bill by submitting paperwork late and not telling me. Months later I get mail from VA saying I owe them a thousand dollars for a course I dropped after the cut off, even though I had dropped it in time. Without a job I had now way to pay it back, and now I’m pretty sure I can’t use what’s left.

I’ve been out there before when I was in wildland fire with BLM, one of the issues with the Preserve is (and issue meaning making things more difficult, not that it’s a bad thing in general) there’s a very strict ban on vehicles going anywhere besides premade roads/trails.

That means that instead of like most fires in this type of fuel where engines can drive up and directly attack it, it’s a hiking game. And even then there is strict rules about what kind of damage you can do to the area. In any other area this would a straight forward, put dozer line in, have crews start burning, and engines start mobile attacking areas they can get to. That’s why seeing fires like this sucks, because I know the crew (if they haven’t all left yet) from the Mojave National Preserve, and I know they’d want to do more to stop it.

Wasteful Days of High School Girls, when I need a good laugh it’s my go to.

I randomly discovered it on HIDIVE a while back, but it’s been taken off since then.

Yeah, I am big on reading documentation. It has saved my ass quite a bit. Even if it doesn't give me the answer I need, or I don't quite get it still, it at least lets me hone in on what the potential issue is so I can clarify my search a bit better. I will keep that in mind, thanks!

I see, though I use OneDrive, I'm not terribly concerned with that, for now, I hope. lol We will see.

Yeah, that was another big concern for a LONG time about switching to Linux. I remember hearing about Linux years and years and years ago when basically nothing was really compatible. It's come a long way, so now is as good a time as any to jump in.

Luckily someone else posted a website to check for alternative programs, so that also helps a lot.

As I say, when in doubt, read the Docs. It has saved my ass on numerous occasions to read the docs, then if I don't understand something still, at least I can narrow down where the issue might be for google, or rather, the stackoverflow searcher that also includes results from other places lol

I have used WSL in vscode for other things, and have set up Homeassistant using rasp pi, but this is the first time that I am actually going to be using Linux as an OS. I heard a lot of great things about PopOS, so glad to hear so many good experiences people have had with it.

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

That is one of the reasons I am making the jump. With them closing out support for 21H2, even though I am on 22H2, it's only a matter of time before they pull the sneaky, "Oh, we updated this for you! You are so very welcome! Enjoy Windows 11 against your will!" like they have in the past. So, best to see if I prefer linux long term.

And that is one thing I have been looking for, I just couldn't think of the right words for google to give the answer... Thanks so much!

Thanks! That does make sense. I consider myself fairly tech savvy-ish, and use several programming languages for work, so this totally makes sense (all day long with the "how to ___ in R/Python/SQL" lol). However, I am sure without this bit of advice I probably would have done exactly that then followed by getting frustrated after the 10th tab I opened didn't give me the right answer yet.
